Here's a preview from the Bethany House website:
An Emotionally Gripping Story of Broken Relationships Restored
Kendy Laswell and her daughter, Maisey, used to do everything together--until one fateful summer when Maisey witnessed something she shouldn't have, and their relationship fractured. Now, Maisey is back home to get married and Kendy realizes this is her last chance to reconnect with her daughter. Will Kendy and Maisey be able to reclaim the bond they once shared?
Maisey asked for a bride doll the Christmas she was five, mesmerized by her aunt's wedding the fall before. Since then I've been dreaming of the day, or days, we would shop for her wedding dress. A mother helping her daughter find just the right creation for that momentous walk down the aisle strikes me as one of life's happiest endeavors. The night she called to tell us she'd bought her "dream of a gown," I sat beside Luke on the couch, a striking contrast to Maisey's exuberance.
My dejection seemed a tad inappropriate. "Being hurt because I wasn't included is silly, isn't it?" I asked.
"Not so silly," he said.
Will I ever quit longing for the Maisey who was once mine?

My favorite flower is the Hardy Hibicus. It returns every year and blooms the biggest flower you ever saw in your life.
I would love to win and read this book. Golly, I love so many flowers. It's hard to pick "one." These are awful common but I always love to have impatiens on my patio. They are so pretty in pink, like a deep orange, red, white. Beautiful!
